Um... RNase is one of the cheaper enzymes out there. Are you using DNase
free RNase? You can do that yourself just by buying the cheap RNase and
heating it. I think Maniatis has the times and temps.
Besides that there are some techiniques that get rid of most of the RNA
from DNA preps. One of them that I used to use required a PEG
precipitation step. Let me know if you want that and I'll dig it out of
my notes and send it to you.
